Sharri, Berrina
This thesis analyzes the European Union as a system of differentiated integration characterized by both vertical and horizontal differentiation. Differentiated integration is an instrument to accommodate heterogeneity in the European Union in the aspect of distribution, deficiency and autonomy implications of enlargement. Differentiation among the member states (internal differentiated integration) results from the high interdependence and high politicization of policy areas. On the other hand, differentiation of selective policy integration of non-member states (external differentiated integration) occurs on highly interdependent but not necessarily on highly politicized policy areas. External differentiated integration is mainly carried out by the European Union conditionalities in which bargaining power plays a crucial role. These patterns are illustrated in the case study of Kosovo where external differentiated integration model is seen as an alternative and feasible mode of integration for Kosovo’s relation with the EU.

GPU accelerated high-order discontinuous galerkin level set methods for incompressible multiphase flows
Karakuş, Ali; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
This thesis study focuses on the development of GPU accelerated, high-order discontinuous Galerkin methods for the solution of unsteady incompressible and immiscible multiphase flows with level set interface representation. Nodal discontinuous Galerkin framework is used for Navier-Stokes, level set evolution and reinitialization equations on unstructured elements. Computations are localized mostly near the interface location with an adaptive method to reduce computational cost without sacrificing the accura...
Numerical simulation of advective Lotka-Volterra systems by discontinuous Galerkin method
Aktaş, Senem; Karasözen, Bülent; Uzunca, Murat; Department of Scientific Computing (2014)
In this thesis, we study numerically advection-diffusion-reaction equations arising from Lotka-Volterra models in river ecosystems characterized by unidirectional flow. We consider two and three species models which include competition, coexistence and extinction depending on the parameters. The one dimensional models are discretized by interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin model in space. For time discretization, fully implicit backward Euler method and semi-implicit IMEX-BDF methods are used. Numerical ...
A Neofunctionalist Approach to the EU's External Border Management: The Case of Frontex
Ozan, Zeynep; Torun, Zerrin; Department of International Relations (2021-12-3)
This thesis examines the integration of the external border management in the European Union (EU) through the theoretical lens of neofunctionalism with the case study of Frontex. Although the external border management area is under shared competence, the establishment of Frontex as an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) agency in 2004 and its upgrading to the European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG) in 2016 to ameliorate the efficiency of management at the external borders of the Union represented a...
The relativistic Burgers equation on a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background and its finite volume approximation
Ceylan, Tuba; Okutmuştur, Baver; LeFloch, Philippe G.; Department of Mathematics (2015)
In this thesis, applications of generalized integral inequalities especially on biomathematics and physics are studied. Application on Biomathematics is about the predatorprey dynamic systems with Beddington DeAngelis type functional response and application on physics is about water percolation equation. This thesis consists 6 chapters. Chapter 1 is introductory and contains the thesis structure. Chapter 2 is about under which conditions the two dimensional predator-prey dynamic system with Beddington DeAn...
The Post-Soviet regional integration process
Ertürk, Muhsin; Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Department of Eurasian Studies (2019)
This thesis examines the Russian-led regional integration processes that emerged after the dissolution of the USSR. The disintegration of the Soviet Union resulted in the break up of economic, social and technological ties between the member states. This situation led the countries in the post-Soviet area to face deep economic and social crises. Many different integration efforts have been carried out in order to eliminate these problems and to establish new ties between the newly independent countries that...
